Maytag washer not spinning
If your washer is not spinning, check the following.
The motor
Set the timer on the spin cycle
and turn the washer on. If the motor doesn't run, you will need to check the lid
switch, the motor and the timer.
The belts
If the motor runs, but the washer won't spin,
check the belts. Make sure that the belts are not worn out. Also check the motor
carrier plate. The springs and glides on the motor plate have to move freely.
Worn out belts and a motor carrier plate that doesn't move freely could be the
cause for the Maytag washer not spinning.
The
transmission
The transmission gears could break and
stop the transmission from not working properly.
One of the major problems with the transmission, is
oil leaks. Oil will leak by the O ring rubber washer inside of the transmission and leak all over the pulley and the belts.
Oil soak belts won't grab the transmission pulleys causing the Maytag washer not spinning.
